# jailbreak-evaluation vs agentdojo

*GraphCanon updated Aug 5, 2026*

## Verdict

Pick jailbreak-evaluation if jailbreak-evaluation is a Python package aimed at evaluating if AI models have been jailbroken by generating outputs that diverge from expected programming; pick agentdojo if agentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents.

[jailbreak-evaluation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.06407) reports 27 GitHub stars, 8 forks, and 0 open issues, last pushed Nov 4, 2024. [agentdojo](https://agentdojo.spylab.ai/) has 716 stars, 188 forks, and 41 open issues, last pushed Jun 2, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [jailbreak-evaluation's repository](https://github.com/controllability/jailbreak-evaluation) and [agentdojo's repository](https://github.com/ethz-spylab/agentdojo).

## Shared compatibility

- **Python**: [jailbreak-evaluation](/tools/controllability-jailbreak-evaluation.md) - Python runtime; [agentdojo](/tools/ethz-spylab-agentdojo.md) - Python runtime

## Decision facts: jailbreak-evaluation

- **Requirements:** The tool depends on having PyTorch and FastChat installed; An API key from the OpenAI Platform is required for full functionality
- **Adopt for:** jailbreak-evaluation is a Python package aimed at evaluating if AI models have been jailbroken by generating outputs that diverge from expected programming.

## Decision facts: agentdojo

- **Pricing:** freemium - Open-source under the MIT License. Some advanced features might require additional libraries or APIs.
- **Requirements:** Min 8 GB RAM
- **Adopt for:** AgentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents.

## Choose when

### Choose jailbreak-evaluation if…

- License: jailbreak-evaluation is Apache-2.0, agentdojo is MIT.
- Requirements: The tool depends on having PyTorch and FastChat installed; An API key from the OpenAI Platform is required for full functionality.
- Tags unique to jailbreak-evaluation: ai safety, evaluation tools, jailbreaks, language-models.
- When you need to assess whether an AI model can be manipulated to produce unpredictable or unintended outcomes through specific inputs, such as jailbreaking.

### Choose agentdojo if…

- License: agentdojo is MIT, jailbreak-evaluation is Apache-2.0.
- Pricing: Open-source under the MIT License. Some advanced features might require additional libraries or APIs..
- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to agentdojo: benchmark, large language models, prompt-injection, security.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- AgentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents.

## When NOT to use jailbreak-evaluation

- If your project does not involve assessing the security or integrity of how an AI model responds to manipulative input techniques designed to exploit design weaknesses.
- When you do not need dependencies on specific frameworks like PyTorch and FastChat, as jailbreak-evaluation requires these without automating their installation.

## When NOT to use agentdojo

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.

### Is jailbreak-evaluation or agentdojo more popular on GitHub?

agentdojo has more GitHub stars (716 vs 27). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints.

### Are jailbreak-evaluation and agentdojo open source?

Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (jailbreak-evaluation: Apache-2.0, agentdojo: MIT).

### Where can I find alternatives to jailbreak-evaluation or agentdojo?

GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [jailbreak-evaluation alternatives](/tools/controllability-jailbreak-evaluation/alternatives) and [agentdojo alternatives](/tools/ethz-spylab-agentdojo/alternatives) ([jailbreak-evaluation markdown twin](/tools/controllability-jailbreak-evaluation/alternatives.md), [agentdojo markdown twin](/tools/ethz-spylab-agentdojo/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes.

### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison?

Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/controllability-jailbreak-evaluation-vs-ethz-spylab-agentdojo.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers.

### Which is better maintained, jailbreak-evaluation or agentdojo?

jailbreak-evaluation: Dormant. agentdojo: Steady. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance.
